Interior glass partitions: pros and cons
The glass partition for the room quickly became a popular and common thing. Along with the installation of a raised floor, the installation of a false ceiling or the finishing of a gypsum board wall, it has become an element of modern design and repair. This is connected with the fact that its design has its own serious advantages. The first is transparency, which makes lighting natural and visually expands the boundaries of the room, which is especially important for small rooms. The second is security. This factor is very important, especially when there are many people in the room. In the production process, the glass is hardened and treated with a special protective film. The third factor is related to modularity, which makes it possible to change the configuration of the partitions depending on the needs.
Note! In addition to everything else, glass partitions have good sound insulation.
Despite all the advantages, this design has some drawbacks. So, it is quite expensive, which remains one of the main criteria for most consumers. The material for its manufacture is physically brittle. In addition, the dimensions of the tempered glass can not be changed, which forces you to think in advance of the location of its placement and clear dimensions of the opening.
What else should I know?
Interior sliding glass partitions can be made of different glass according to the decorative properties. For example, it can be transparent, toned, matte, corrugated, with applique, photo printing and so on. By its technical characteristics, this material is ideal for installation in rooms with high humidity, since it is absolutely not affected by its influence. Thanks to all their qualities, glass partitions are an excellent solution for arranging an original and bright interior.
They are mounted in a special clamp profile, which is attached to the flow and floor. And it is the upper part of it that holds the main load, so it must be fixed firmly. If this is not possible, the main load is transferred to the lower profile. Also, there are options for mounting point connectors and special clips for glass.
Note! Experts recommend to install glass partitions so that the main load falls on the upper profile, as it helps to avoid the "sailing" cloth.
